Update

Kevin is now back in another city in Afghanistan! The one that doesn't smell! He was in Kandahar. They have open sewage pits there. It was especially bad at night. He is glad to be out of there. Kandahar is in the Southern part of the country. It is warmer there but not nearly as nice. Where he is now is further North. There was a report on the news this morning that 2 soldiers were killed in the Southern part so I am glad he is out of there. He is not sure how long he will be where he is. They were expecting snow so it is much colder.

He said that he flew on a B 17 cargo plane this weekend to get where he is now. It was very exciting. The plane had several pallets of explosives and missile heads!

Last week in Kandahar there was a missile attack. They had to go into a bunker. He was disappointed that nothing happened. I, of course, was very happy that nothing happened! It happened while they were working so he wasn't happy that they weren't paid for that 1/2 hour!

As I said, he is not sure where he will be when they are done where he is. He heard a rumor that they may have a big contract in Africa. That would be exciting.

Adam will be home on Dec. 11 for a few days. Can't wait to see him! We will celebrate his birthday that day with Rays Pizza and Sardells wings. Then we'll wait a couple days, well maybe one, and celebrate Christmas. It will be strange to not have Kevin here and just Adam but times are changing!

I saw a post on Facebook from Kevin today (Tuesday). He said that it has been raining for 15 days. I'm thinking that it must be pretty muddy since they say it is so dusty there. Hopefully he will have a permenant address soon so we can send him Christmas cards!
